The Philadelphia Eagles have some questions and concerns when it comes to the creativity on offense or lack thereof, and it remains to be seen if Mike Groh will be on the staff at season’s end. Even if Groh is retained, Doug Pederson should give a hard look at doing whatever is needed to add former Texas Tech head coach, Kliff Kingsbury to the coaching staff.

According to SiriusXM NFL Radio host Gil Brandt, Kingsbury’s phone “has been ringing off the hook” from NFL teams interested in his offensive acumen.

The phone of former Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury has been ringing off the hook from NFL teams, including two that have given him firm offers. College offense has infiltrated the NFL and Kingsbury's superb knowledge of it is in high demand.

Brandt didn’t get into the numbers, in terms of how many teams have reached out, but with the success of young coaches like Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan, and Matt Nagy, Kingsbury will be a huge commodity. With Carson Wentz set to be one of the highest paid quarterbacks in the game, its imperative that Pederson stay ahead of the curve when it comes to the pass first mentality exhibited in the NFL currently.

Kingsbury’s numbers were mediocre as a head coach, but as a play caller and offensive guru, he can be credited with helping Case Keenum get to the NFL after the Houston Cougars led the nation in scoring in 2011. Kingsbury has worked with Johnny Manziel at Texas A&M. Toss in the work he did with Baker Mayfield and Patrick Mahomes at Texas Tech, and you have the recipe for a bright play calling future.

Kingsbury recruited, signed and developed Patrick Mahomes, who now leads the NFL with 37 touchdown passes in his second season with the Kansas City Chiefs and is an MVP candidate.
